The Quote of the Week
"Wissenschaftliche Anregung verdanke ich wesentlich dem persönlichen mathematischen Verkehr in Erlangen und in Göttingen. Vor allem bin ich Herrn E. Fischer zu Dank verpflichtet, der mir den entscheidenden Anstoẞ zu der Beschäftigung mit abstrakter Algebra in arithmetischer Auffassung gab, was für all meine späteren Arbeiten bestimmend blieb."
Translation: "I obtained scientific guidance and stimulation mainly through personal mathematical contacts in Erlangen and in Göttingen. Above all I am indebted to Mr. E. Fischer from whom I received the decisive impulse to study abstract algebra from an arithmetical viewpoint, and this remained the governing idea for all my later work."
Emmy Noether - mathematician. Discoverer of Noether's theorem.
The Summary of the Week
Here’s why superposition and entanglement have nothing to do with understanding quantum computers
The greater the functionality of a tool, the less efficient it will be for any given task. Take, for example, The Giant, which earns the title of the world’s most multifunctional penknife. It is a Swiss Army knife with 87 tools. It is over 8 inches long and weighs 3 pounds.

Quantum data link established between two distant Chinese cities
A secure quantum link has been created over a distance of 511 kilometres between two Chinese cities by using a relay in the middle that does not have to be trusted. This could help extend secure quantum networks.

What Does the Bell Test Mean for Our Understanding of the Universe?
John Bell – physicist. Formulator of Bell’s theorem. In 1964, Irish physicist John Bell published a paper called “On the Einstein- Podolsky – Rosen Paradox” In this paper, John Bell challenged Einstein- Podolsky – Rosen paradox by taking further the analysis of quantum entanglement.

Paper: Quantum computing 40 years later
Forty years ago, Richard Feynman proposed harnessing quantum physics to build a more powerful kind of computer. Realizing Feynman's vision is one of the grand challenges facing 21st century science and technology. In this article, we'll recall Feynman's contribution that launched the quest for a quantum computer, and assess where the field stands 40 years later.
